i'll probably get flamed for this, but what tv shows does your 6yo like? i have v specific reasons for asking, not just lazy, that I can get into if asked. but, they'll bore you, so if you can just list some programs, i'd really appreciate it. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

ppl are so anti-TV around here. ds has autism, and a lot of his teachers are amazed that he actually has the attn span to get through a tv show. that, plus until recently he liked the more preschool-y cartoons, like clifford or curious george, but it seems like he's matured all of a sudden, and i'd like to know what is more age-appropriate, w/o having him watch spongebob if possible.

My 5yo loves POKEMON and that's all he'll ask to watch these days. He also will watch science shows like Nova and Discovery about space (generally shows for adults on these topics). [ Reply | More

huh - wonder if he'd get the science stuff. that kind of abstract reasoning is hard for him, but if I combined it w/TV, who knows? I have a meeting w/his teacher today, I'll ask her what she thinks. [ Reply | More

How about shows from Animal Planet. Aimed at kids, but not cartoons. On PBS, there is a show called "Kindergarten" that follows a K class throughout the year, like a documentary. He'd get to watch other kids interacting, different school projects, teachers. (I'm not a SN mom, but I think that might be interesting for him to watch, without having to join in). [ Reply | More

My DD is so strange: she likes certain cartoons like Tom & Jerry and Ben 10 (because her brother watches it) but she's way more into realistic shows now. She likes the Bindi jungle girl show, she loves shows on the food network and House Hunters (because she likes to see if she can guess what house they will pick at the end..lol) and she loves animal/nature shows on discovery. Anything that has a lot of interesting information. She's certainly has not been like this always but she's in a "sponge" age where she wants to find out more, more, more. She was into Hannah Montana and the show with the twin boys but I stopped that because I didn't like the attitudes of these kids and she was emulating the way they talk. [ Reply | More
